Put a note in your diary for April 18th, 10-00pm, radio 2.
There's a documentary about the above.

[Captain2]

Thanks Melv - noted - saw him live many years ago - good fun.

[Hopkirk]

Thanks, I think he's great

[melv16]

Bump.
Tinariwen are worth a listen on R3, 11-00pm on Friday, if you're into African blues.

[Captain2]

One extreme to another on your thread there Melv. Thanks for the reminder, I'll be listening - to Jake that is!

[Jackdaw33]

Remember him from the Braden Week. How long ago is that?

[Mamyalynne]

On the Braden Beat (TV Series 1962–1967) _ I found Jake a bit scary as a child.

[tonyav]

I'm glad it's not just me that remembers that, Mamya.

[tonyav]

Hadn't Bernard Braden's wife ( can't remember her name, was it Barbara something ) used to co present with Bernard ?.

[Mamyalynne]

I remember the growed ups watching it, Mr Google is very helpful ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Barbara Kelly

[tonyav]

Yep, thanks Mamya.

[marval]

It was Barbara Kelly Tony, she used to be on "What's My Line."

[tonyav]

Mamyalynne I remember the growed ups watching it, Mr Google is very helpful ;-)

Yeah right !, Sunday nights wasn't it.

[tonyav]

Thanks marval.
Bernard was a Canadian if I remember rightly.

[marval]

Mamyalynne beat me to it, yes Tony they were Canadians.

[Jackdaw33]

...as was Barbara Kelly, of "What's My Line?" fame. I await with anticipation some ancient troglodyte emerging from his cave to say he remembers Isobel Barnett, Gilbert Harding and Cyril Fletcher.

[marval]

Far be it for me to disappoint Jackdaw, I do remember them.

[melv16]

Captain, give this whirl.

[tonyav]

I remember Cyril Fletcher, used to be on Braden's week hadn't he ?.
And carried on appearing on the Ester Rantzen show.

[Jackdaw33]

Yes, the Odd Odes. "Pin back your lugholes".
